Displaying my Original Ben Cooper Batman Playsuit!
Hi Folks!
My Batman fixation started at an early age! I was 3 years old when this photo was taken of me in my Batman Costume.
It was 1969 and it was an Original Ben Cooper Batman Playsuit. I recently bought a child mannequin to properly display it.
What do you all think?

The Early Bird may get the Worm, but it's the SECOND Mouse that gets the CHEESE!

That's so awesome! Is that your original costume? If so that's crazy. My parents didn't keep anything. They even lost most of my childhood photos.
Love it!
Love it!

REALLY cool -- and you look like the kid who gets his tongue stuck to a pole after a dare in A CHRISTMAS STORY.
Costume is beautiful! This version is so much better than the one I know which has the plastic face mask.

That is beyond cool, Frank. And the fact it's still in amazing condition is mindblowing- I wore mine to shreds!

That's fantastic. Child size mannequin! That cloth costume was the best of the bunch.
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!

It looks fantastic, Frank! I'm sure you're going to smile every time you see your new display.

There's a chance next year Rubie's costumes will reissue this in adult size in their Ben Cooper line. Not sure if it will just be the regular Batman mask and only the top or an exact replica.

This is the coolest display. I’ve toyed with getting a child’s mannequin for my son’s Batman costume.

TTB, its amazing that you still have your childhood costume. I had a version of the costume, but the mask was the hard, half face style. Unfortunately, its one of the few childhood Bat items I was not able to hold on to.

Fantastic idea. I loved this sighting a few years ago, in a stall at a flea market in Sydney, Australia:To The Batpoles! wrote: ↑Tue Dec 28, 2021 11:56 pm My Batman fixation started at an early age! I was 3 years old when this photo was taken of me in my Batman Costume.

I have a picture of me in mine's from Halloween morning of 1971. I'll post it if I can find it. I still remember how pumped I was coming back from W.T. Grant's (which in my memory seemed to have a huge costume selection every year) in Union Lake, Michigan and couldn't wait to unbox it and put it on. For the record, the year before I was Spider-Man and the year after I was a gorilla soldier from Planet of the Apes. No cornfield was safe from me. AH-WOOO-GA! AH-WOOO-GA! AH-WOOO-GA!
